On my 97 xlt reg cab long bed I had a aluminum drive shaft. At least I think I did. After 3 years there was no rust and it had a silver like look to it.

my dads 97 did, my 98 and 99 did. my 2000 doesn't, could be because my 2000 is a 4x4 and all the others were 4x2s... don't know. I wish mine was aluminum though.

I started a topic similar to this, actually it might have been titled the same last year and there were alot of replies to it. Do a search and see if you can find it. My 2000 has a rusty steel drive shaft.

I have a 97 4x4 and mine is all rusted so I "assume" it's steel.
